Paris Museum Pass

We picked ours up at the Lourve. I wouldn't order it ahead of time.

Here's the PMP website: http://en.parismuseumpass.com/

It should tell you all you need to know. Depending on where you are staying in Paris, there is likely a museum or site near you so you can purchase once you are in Paris.

Don't buy stateside -- the shipping is really $$$ and there's just no need to do it.

You can buy it at the Eurostar station in London. In Paris, buy it at a low traffic museum to avoid long lines.

We purchased our museum pass at a TI office near the Comedie Francaise. A very short line and as a bonus we saw the colonade and gardens of the Palais Royale. If you are a fan of the movie "Charade"( starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn) this was the setting of the climatic chase scene in the movie.

Do wait to buy it once in Europe since as mentioned you will pay a lot for shipping. The website provided gives you places where it can be purchased. We easily bought ours at the airport before heading into Paris.

Any of the above suggestions will work, but to add to the confusion, I bought mine at the Orsay. There is a small enclave next to the main ticket queue where you can buy it. Virtually no line.

Agree with others - buy it at the first place convenient once there. I've bought it at several places. My experience is they sell it anywhere they take it. It is certainly true of the "big" sites. I would also recommend that you DO buy it. I always found it good value and time saver at queues.

I believe I recall buying ours at the Gare du Nord upon arrival from Amsterdam. The young lady selling it was perfectly helpful and very kind, and there was no line at all. We also thought it was a great value for our needs. I think we got a discounted river boat ride with it (?)
